I have two patterns that I would like to make but am baffled with the patterns. I'm a beginner knitter, and I'm sure the patterns are simple, but seeing all that techno mumbo jumbo and these crazy stitches that are a mixture of other stitches just blows my mind. I would really appreciate some help. So far I haven't found really good stitch tuts, so if you know of any that would be extremely helpful as well.

I can translate the patterns fine, but when it comes to actually creating the stitches, I just don't quite get it. Thank you so much for the link. I'm also going to get the Teach Yourself Visually Knitting book again from the library. The crochet version of that book was superbly useful when I was learning how to do that.

The link is fantastic! I learn best when I can watch a video on something versus just viewing pictures.
